Yossi Benayoun (Dinamo Moscow - Olympiakos)

think yossi might go in the summer though

Probably will we'll have some some debt to repay

yeah and i don't think he will be the only one

Why isnt this locked moderslators

load of crap it should be locked

i was just gonna say that

Why should it be? I may well turn out to be bollocks but however much we, as fans like Yossi, it's clear that he's not exactly the first name on Rafa's team sheet. I agree that £5m would be a bit of a joke but if a club came in with a bigger bid or Olympiakos up there's, who's to say Rafa wouldn't be tempted to grab the cash and go for one of his prime targets?
What we think or want is irrelevant.

Sell Him to Man City for 1 zillion Dollars

No effing way!!

No way would Rafa let this happen,too important to our squad.

shame mark hughes was sacked he probably would have given us £15m for him

Seeing his form, I wouldn't sell him for 15mil, too.

Realistically, Yossi is worth around 10mil IMO. He's 30 in a couple of months or so.

We signed him for about 4 or 5 mill didnt we? So to sell him for a similar price when hes only got better is just nonsense.

Can't see it happening anyway. 1. Yossi is now a key player for LFC and would be a big miss if he was sold. 2. He can do alot better than greek football. Yossi would walk into most sides around Europe

We got him for 6mil.

hi, just joined this forum after a Russian friend sent me this link and could not find any more info on the Dinamo offer for Yossi except for the article below...

also heard Dinamo is ready to pay 8 mln pounds and 4.5 mln euro salary

anyone heard about this?

Dinamo Fancy a Move for Benayoun
by Andrew Skomra
Benayoun's apparent comfort at Liverpool hasn't stopped Dinamo's inquiries

Benayoun's apparent comfort at Liverpool hasn't stopped Dinamo's inquiries

Dinamo Moskva is reportedly interested in acquiring Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun, according to Sovetski Sport.

Dinamo officials are suspected of having begun the conversation last week with the 29-year-old’s agent Ronan Katsaf. This information dovetails with comments made last week by Dinamo athletic director Konstantin Sarsania that his club was making a push for a relatively high profile attacking midfielder that plays with a top club in Europe.

Katsaf declined to comment on Dinamo’s interest.

Benayoun joined Liverpool from West Ham in 2007, when he signed a four-year-deal that came with a £5 million transfer fee.

Readers may recall that in January 2009 Spartak Moskva were in advanced negotiations with the Israeli captain after his dismay in not receiving many first-team opportunities. But Liverpool head coach Rafael Benitez apparently had a heart-to-heart with Benayoun and convinced the player to stay on with the Reds. Since that time Benayoun has signed a contract extension with the club that lasts through 2013.

With the absence of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, Benayoun has been receiving much more playing time over the last year and has been performing admirably. Just last week Benayoun’s fortunes were somewhat soured, or at least postponed, after fracturing a rib in Liverpool’s FA Cup match against Reading.

Earlier this month, Greek side Olympiakos were suspected of readying a €6 million bid for Benayoun and had their rather low offer quickly turned down by the powers that be at Anfield. Since the addition of Maxi Rodríguez from Atlético Madrid, Liverpool has bulked up their midfield, but there has been no indication that the club wishes to move the Israeli. Given Benayoun’s good relations with Benitez and his repeated allegiance to the club—specifying that he’d only leave Liverpool if they did not want him—it would seem that Dinamo’s calls, while not falling on deaf ears, have probably being met with some indifference.

Lots of online sources says Dynamo Moscow want to sign Yossi Benayoun foor 7 mil pound and are willing to pay him 4.5mil euro per year.
I hope Rafa tells them all to F**k off.

Don't burn me, i just typed his name in Google and that what popped up.

Benayoun is a top quality player whom I've taken notice of since his time at West Ham. He was immense, together with Harewood and Reo Coker in the FA Cup final in 2006.

Don't make me laugh, there is no chance that he would move there honestly. He has better money, better chances of trophies, a better chance of everything here. He is at the peak of his career, Liverpool is the best club on earth and is where everyone wants to be.

One of the key players in Rafa's team sheet, clearly. He's happy here that I see no reason for him to move.

 

5m? Not a chance!

5m? Not a chance!

Theres a zero missing after the 5!!!

Yet again what a joke. £5m for Benayoun is ludicrous.

I read the offer was £7m but even still, that's way off!

I'd take 12 million...maybe

The articles say that bringing Maxi to the squad will eat up his play time and that is why he may want to leave.

No chance. Our squad isn't the biggest and we could possibly be selling another winger in Babel.

And how much would a replacement as good as him cost?

Probably in the range of 20mil if not more.

I hope it's not true, he seems happy in Liverpool IMO.
